"It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1479 advisory.

    In OCaml before 4.14.3 and 5.x before 5.4.1, a buffer over-read in Marshal deserialization
    (runtime/intern.c) enables remote code execution through a multi-phase attack chain. The vulnerability
    stems from missing bounds validation in the readblock() function, which performs unbounded memcpy()
    operations using attacker-controlled lengths from crafted Marshal data. (CVE-2026-28364)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
